1. Asphyxiation is a hazard posed by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles and can be detected when you notice

Smell of Mercaptan will allow us to  detect the Compressed natural gas. The smell is similar to the LPG used in our homes for cooking.

Explanation:

Compressed natural gas is heavier than air and tends to settle down near the ground. In case there is a leakage of CNG  the air near the ground surface will be displaced and get filled with CNG. This may result in aphyxiation i.e. lack of oxygen in enclosed places.

CNG is odorless and cannot be detected by smell. In order to make the detection possible, a small amount of mercaptan is added to CNG so that its smell is easily detected.

An energy system can be approximated to simply show the interactions with its environment including cold air in and warm air out
Elenna [48]

Answer: The energy system related to your question is missing attached below is the energy system.

answer:

a) Work done = Net heat transfer

  Q1 - Q2 + Q + W = 0

b)  rate of work input ( W ) = 6.88 kW

Explanation:

Assuming CPair = 1.005 KJ/Kg/K

<u>Write the First law balance around the system and rate of work input to the system</u>

First law balance ( thermodynamics ) :

Work done = Net heat transfer

Q1 - Q2 + Q + W = 0 ---- ( 1 )

rate of work input into the system

W = Q2 - Q1 - Q -------- ( 2 )

where : Q2 = mCp T  = 1.65 * 1.005 * 293 = 485.86 Kw

             Q2 = mCp T = 1.65 * 1.005 * 308 = 510.74 Kw

              Q = 18 Kw

Insert values into equation 2 above

W = 6.88 Kw

An air-conditioning system operating on the reversed Carnot cycle is required to transfer heat from a house at a rate of 755 kJ/
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

There is 0.466 KW required to operate this air-conditioning system

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Heat transfer rate of the house = Ql = 755 kJ/min

House temperature = Th = 24°C = 24 +273 = 297 Kelvin

Outdoor temperature = To = 35 °C = 35 + 273 = 308 Kelvin

<u>Step 2: </u> Calculate the coefficient of performance o reversed carnot air-conditioner working between the specified temperature limits.

COPr,c = 1 / ((To/Th) - 1)

COPr,c = 1 /(( 308/297) - 1)

COPr,c = 1/ 0.037

COPr,c = 27

<u>Step 3:</u> The power input cna be given as followed:

Wnet,in = Ql / COPr,max

Wnet, in = 755  / 27

Wnet,in = 27.963 kJ/min

Win = 27.963 * 1 KW/60kJ/min  = 0.466 KW

There is 0.466 KW required to operate this air-conditioning system

A(n) is a detailed, structured diagram or drawing.
monitta

Answer:

Schematics

Explanation:

A schematic is a detailed structured diagram or drawing. It employs illustrations to help the viewer understand detailed information on the machine or object being described. Its main aim is not to help the observer know what the object looks like physically. It is rather aimed at helping the viewer know how the machine works. This is achieved by only including key and important details to the drawing.

It is most times used in the blueprint and user guides of machines and gadgets used in the home to help users know how these things work so that they can do little fixings should there be such needs.

An automobile weighing 2500 lbf increases its gravitational potential energy by a magnitude of 2.25 × 104 Btu in going from an e
Mila [183]

Answer:

The elevation at the high point of the road is 12186.5 in ft.

Explanation:

The automobile weight is 2500 lbf.

The automobile increases its gravitational potential energy in 2.25 * 10^4 BTU. It means the mobile has increased its elevation.

The initial elevation is of 5183 ft.  

The first step is to convert Btu of potential energy to adequate units to work with data previously presented.

British Thermal Unit - 1 BTU = 778.17  lbf*ft

2.25 * 10^4 BTU (\frac{778.17 lbf*ft}{1BTU} ) = 1.75 * 10^7 lbf * ft

Now we have the gravitational potential energy in lbf*ft. Weight of the mobile is in lbf and the elevation is in ft. We can evaluate the expression for gravitational potential energy as follows:  

Ep = m*g*(h_2 - h_1)\\ W = m*g  

Where m is the mass of the automobile, g is the gravity, W is the weight of the automobile showed in the problem.  

h_2 is the final elevation and h_1 is the initial elevation.

Replacing W in the Ep equation

Ep = W*(h_2 -h_1)\\(h_2 -h_1) = \frac{Ep}{W} \\h_2 = h_1 + \frac{Ep}{W}\\\\

Finally, the next step is to replace the variables of the problem.  

h_2 = 5183 ft + \frac{1.75 * 10^7 lbf*ft}{2500 lbf}\\h_2 = 5183 ft + 70003.5 ft\\h_2 = 12186.5 ft

The elevation at the high point of the road is 12186.5 in ft.
